Chapter 62: Meeting Chongren
On the Sino-Japanese issue, there are many issues of principle that cannot be discussed, such as the Outer Northeast.
In fact, both sides want to ease relations for the time being, taking one step at a time.
It is also impossible for the hostile relations between the two sides to be dissolved, and it is impossible for Japan to violate the German-Italian-Japanese Axis Treaty, which has just been signed. It is also impossible for the Wuhan government to give up its rights and interests in the Outer Northeast. Formal diplomatic relations could not be established, but Zhang Chun agreed, and the Japanese imperial family should establish a private communication mechanism with Zhang Chun and Liu Qing to calm the current tensions.
The location can be selected in Lianyun City.
After the Spring Festival, Liu Qing and his wife were transferred to Lianyun City, where they worked as professors at Lianyun Medical College and the Institute of Health and Epidemic Prevention. I moved into a campus for professors. The park is planned for arable land and woodland, which is intended for families. Single teachers and out-of-town teachers, whose land is with their parents, will not be redistributed until they get married. The allocated land is also subject to reductions from the place of origin.
When planning a school, the school's faculty and staff are fixed, and the allocated land is also planned. If there is a need for expansion, it can only be planned in the government reserve. Forests, pastoral areas and wetlands are all government reserve land. Because it only has a management office, it is not assigned to individuals.
During the land reform, Longhai Province left a large amount of reserve land, because many people were engaged in other industries, and although they also owned land, they had less land than farmers. And a lot of people were also sent north. Later, mutual aid cooperatives were set up in some localities where conditions permitted, and they often took townships and towns as units to carry out unified planning and management of the plain areas. In mountainous areas and scattered lands in lakes, Zhang Chun did not allow forcible intensification. Even if it is intensive, it is also a form of mutual aid cooperative. Ensure that the land use right is still in the hands of the people.
After Liu Qing and his wife came over, the government took back the original housing and land at a price, although the land was redistributed. There are also temporary accommodations, but they are not enough to receive guests. The place of reception was chosen at Wu Ying's garden-style farm, which is Zhang Chun's residence. In fact, Liu Qing and Wu Ying's residences are next to each other. It's just that now it's a jungle and a meadow.
Liu Qing and his wife did not plan to toss anymore, but just considered building a better house.
Qi Lin is eleven years old, and he is a very healthy child with a little bit of gangsterism. Zidan is also nine years old. The little girl was not much older and threw it into the kindergarten, quietly. Smiling all day long. Liu Qing and his wife also only had these two children.
The two guys transferred to Lianyun City, and they transferred a lot, and soon mixed with their friends. Qi Lin rides his bicycle to and from school with his sister every day. After finishing his homework, he messed around in the garden.
Qi Lin always wanted to surpass Shui Ling in order to show his manly dignity. But it's a pity that he was beaten very badly by Shui Ling every time. He didn't cry either, but smiled and took off his dirty clothes and washed them by the sink. He is not afraid of the cold in winter, and Liu Qing will give him a lecture when he sees him. But he still stayed the same.
The children in the yard also include eight-year-old Liang Zaibing and five-year-old Liang Congjie. are all living with Liang Qichao. Liang Sicheng and his family were too busy. Most of the time with engineering and design staff in the field, or in the lab.
And Wu Ying and his wife's children are all older, and they are all working in other places.
The six little ones have different personalities, but they are not afraid of people. Several old couples still pamper these children more. After all, the youngest Liang Congjie also has more time at school and less time at home.
In addition to Shui Ling, the one who can control them a little bit is Lin Yanyu.
When Prince Takahito arrived, he was startled by a few children riding horses.
It turned out that Shui Ling and Niu Niu were riding a big white horse. Qi Lin and Qi Dan, Liang Zaibing and Liang Congjie rode two ponies and trotted on the grass.
Chen Zimei, who brought Prince Chongren in, just smiled and shouted, "Be careful not to step on the flowers." "There was no intention of stopping it at all.
Prince Takahito was accompanied by several of Mikasa's attendants, as well as his teacher, Masanobu Tsuji, and the outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Hachiro Arita.
In the small courtyard full of flowers, Liu Qing stopped Qi Lin and Qi Dan. Let the two of them come to see Chongren. Because Liu Qing is a generation older, he is called cousin according to Chinese custom. Qi Lin knew that his mother was Japanese, but he didn't think that he was a brother to this prince in his twenties who wore traditional Japanese clothes. Isn't that a brother to their emperor?
The yard was very casual, Zhang Chun and Lizhen, Lin Changmin and Liang Qichao were all scattered under a huge holly tree.
Chen Zimei just moved three chairs casually. It means that only Takahito, Masanobu Tsuji, and Hachiro Arita are qualified to sit. Everyone else had to stand.
Because Liu Qing is an elder, the people who come dare not object.
Because Liu Qing didn't let him leave, Qi Lin looked at Shui Ling who dismounted and ran away in the distance, and Niuniu who was trying to walk with short legs behind Shui Ling's buttocks. A look of eagerness. Zidan snuggled up to his mother's arms obediently.
Liu Qing said, "Go play, come back on time."
Qi Lin politely bid farewell to Chongren. Then the flying one ran away. The speed made Masanobu Tsuji startled, and Chongren also looked at this little brother in surprise.
But soon, I saw Shui Ling kick Qi Lin who pounced on him and flew away. But Qi Lin did not fall, but supported his hands and feet, hugged Niuniu, and rolled on the grass. Niu Niu's screams could be heard far away.
"Doesn't the little brother have to learn the rules?"
Chongren looked curious.
"Rules, a lot. For example, be generous, be kind to others, help others, respect the elderly, and care for the young. Only by learning can we make progress, only by exercising can we grow our bodies, and only by seeing more can we be knowledgeable. These rules are taught every day in schools. ”
Liu Qing said with a grin.
Chongren blushed: "I mean etiquette. ”
Liu Qing didn't want to speak.
Zhang Chun said with a smile: "For example, when you see the emperor, you want to bow three times and bow nine times? When you see an official, you should grovel, be gentle and courteous? Should you be on top of your people when you see them? We have abolished these rules, otherwise what would we do if we overthrew the Manchus? We don't want to be slaves ourselves, and we won't let our children and grandchildren be slaves. ”
"Ignorance of etiquette is the act of a barbarian." Hachiro Arita sneered.
"Qi Lin came over to say hello and was very polite. If you want to play in your heart, you can stand here politely without your mother's consent. His mother promised him to go, but he said goodbye before leaving. And one of the guests said that they went to the host's house and said that the host did not follow the rules of the guest. I don't know which one is a little more rude. ”
Zhang Chun was also unhappy.
The meeting became very nervous from the beginning, which Chongren thought was caused by just a simple sentence, so Chongren had to stand up and bow to Liu Qing and Zhang Chun and said, "Chongren is shallow, please forgive me." ”
Liu Qing waved his hand and said, "There is too much difference between China and Japan on the rules. I'm very happy that you came to see me. In recent years, I have often met people born in Japan in China, and there is always a sense of intimacy. ”
"Really? There are a lot of Chinese on the mainland? "Chongren really only grew up in the palace, and he doesn't know a lot of things.
Liang Qichao said with a smile: "Not a lot, starting from Shanghai, and later Shandong, Kanto, Ryukyu and North Korea." That's one or two million people in total. ”
Chongren glanced at Arita and saw that Arita's face was red and dripping blood. Also know that this is not a good word.
Still, he pretended not to understand: "They're doing well." ”
"It's okay, it's about the same as me, and I'm not much better than them." Liu Qing still has some hope for seeing Chongren. But I didn't expect that after decades of not going back, the Japanese imperial family seems to be even more closed. So her disappointment was undisguised.
"I heard that Hirohito has written a few books, but I don't know if you brought them."
"I brought it, the emperor said it was just some drafts, please give me more advice." Chongren respectfully handed the two books to Liu Qing. One of them is "The Chronicles of the Coelenterates of Sagami Bay" and the other is "The Chronicles of the Flora of Nasu", both of which are internal editions of the Imperial Palace of Japan. Hirohito did not disclose it to the public, believing that it was not complete enough.
Liu Qing took the book and handed it to Qi Bin. Because Qi Bin is an expert in this regard.
Liu Qing sighed: "Has there been any progress in his vision correction?" ”
"It doesn't work well."
"The Japanese royal family, many people have some physical problems, have you thought about the reason?"
"Some people say it's because our marriage options are too narrow." This point Chongren is very straightforward.
However, Masanobu Tsuji, Hachiro Arita hurriedly stopped: "Be careful." ”
Chongren shut up.
Liu Qing said unhappily: "You people, the problem is not with you, of course you don't care. Originally, I didn't want to take care of Japan's affairs, and I couldn't manage them. I'm a queen, not a prince, and I've given up my title. There are some things that you have provoked yourself, and there are many ways to go to the mainland, not necessarily by force. I know why you're coming to see me. I think it's just to see my face, and it's not once or twice. There are many times, and my face is not so big. Since you are here, you might as well take a look at the school, the school in Lianyun City is not only Japanese, but also British, Russian, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Hui. Why is it possible on the mainland but not on the islands of Japan? Is it because of the rules you say? (To be continued......)
